Ethnography and founding period · Town centre

The Söğüt Museum building: a traditional two-storey house, white rendered with dark timber overhangs, iron railings and a "Museum" sign in front
The museum building. A traditional two-storey Söğüt house.

A museum that brings together Söğüt's founding-period story and the ethnography of the district. Calling in before you visit the tomb makes it easier to place what you will see outside.

The collection holds local dress, everyday objects and material associated with the founding period. The layout and contents may change from time to time.

Call before you visit. Opening hours can vary with the season, and during festival week the programme may cause changes.
